I played CSGO on PC for quite a while using my 50" M as a monitor and it worked pretty well. When in game mode the input lag wasn't really noticeable at all. Only reason I switched was because I bought an Asus 144Hz monitor.

I have a 70' m-series, that is very slow coming on after the 1.09 update. When I turn it on the v comes on the screen, then the screen goes black for 10 to 15 seconds, then it comes on with a grey message bar that says retrieving data, then the picture comes on followed about 4 seconds later by the sound. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so does anyone know a fix?

It does flash like changed the input but yes it stays on the same one and it shows that the resolution has changed and also it doesn't put put any sound from my soundbar and you can see that the picture is not as clear and the advanced settings under the picture menu is completely gone from the menu when it happens... Turn off the tv and back on sometimes fixes the prob sometimes it doesn't. SAMs with turning the xbox on and off

Mine has just started doing this with my ROKU and my Samsung BD-6500....

I have the M551i and like it so far, only complaint was the glare from sun. I have my setup in the best spot in the house directly in front of the double slidding glass door because we don't use it. but glare was still horrible. So today I went to Menard and bought 4 roles of Anti Glar windows tints I guess its called. WOW! what a difference I can now watch tv wth blinds all the way open and reduced glare minimum 80%

Its really irritating, cause the kids turn it on, and with the delay they end up pushing the power button several times. I was fine with the tv before the update.Vizio needs to get their s### together, cause these updates are crap.

Guys need some suggestion here, need a tv and was thinking of getting a 80' 2014 M, however, looks like there is no news of the 2014 M and so I am thinking either to get the 2013 M 70" or the Samsung 75" 6300 from Costco. Any suggestions.
the other option would be to get the new 2014 sharp 70 SQ. I was holding off thinking the new vizio would be able to upscale to 4k, but it looks like the 2014 M wont be able to do that and don't have the budget to go for a 4k tv right now.

Been offline for a while due to a move. Have any 55in owners received the first post-1.0.9 update that adds the professional picture settings?

That is actually the 1.25 firmware update that adds the professional settings feature and it does not appear to have been pushed out yet. Only TV's that seem to have it are recently purchased ones with it installed from the factory.

Quote: Gusgus: It's pretty simple. I connect my wife's laptop to the TV and it wipers great.
Thanks Gusgus, I assume you are using an HDMI cable to the TV. However I am looking for a wireless method to play videos directly from internet web sites (eg., tcm.com, pbs.com, ...). The Vizio's V button seems like a natural place to house a simple internet browser. Is there a browser app that could be installed in the M601D?

The only thing I have found is an "Internet Videos" app that accesses history.com channel but it plays only short video clips rather than whole segments from the channel's video library.

The short answer, if you want 3D get the 2013 version. If you don't care for 3D, wait for the 2014 as it will be a better TV due to direct-lit and more zones for the local dimming feature AND cheaper but without 3D. Most people in this thread that have used the Samsung model you referenced have preferred the Vizio M series and every Sharp I've seen someone reference said it was terrible for sports but I haven't heard about the new one. Regarding 4K, if that's important to you, Vizio is supposed to have an affordable 4K model out this year too. Not the 'M' series though. I think the press release referred to it as 'P' but it's been a few months since I read it.

That said, I think I have decided to purchase the m471i-a3… I am told this is the 2014 version of the m-series, hence the "a-3" and not the "a-2"

The m471i-a3 is definitely not a 2014 model, it is a 2013 model. The 2014 M-series are not out and have a -b at the end, such as M502i-b3. Also, they have not even announced a 47" 2014 M-series. Scroll down the link to see a list of 2014 models that have been announced.

Have you contacted Vizio yet?

IT takes only a few seconds to contact Vizio support, please do so about these issues if enough people send in these problems an update will follow quickly, I just submitted mine. Everyone else needs to follow and not just hope something happens.

I also went to Costco yesterday to look at it in person, and came away super unimpressed… Even though it said "46" inches, it was next to a 47 in and it looked SOOOO much smaller it was crazy… I don't know if that is just the razor design or not, but holy cow it was a small pic and not as nice as I thought it was going to be…

My question is simple, are you guys happy with it for the most part?!

I have spent much of the past week, reading through this thread, to get a sense for what people feel about it, and the sense I get is overall they are pretty pleased..

Just making sure I am not making a HUUUUGE mistake,

Thanks so much, have an awesome one!!!

-Ryan

you certainly are not making a HUGE mistake. The tv is a solid tv at a great price. There are better pictures out there for more money and worse pictures for less. I honestly believe vizio hit a good value point. There are some bugs for sure, but at least for me, buying one in March there aren't any with the new firmware that bother me.

I think I am staying away..

In my opinion, in the sizes I was interested in (55"-60"), I couldn't find a better quality picture and better features than the 2013 M-series and 2014 e-series, for the price. And I went through several to be satisfied after coming from plasma the last few years.

I agree. Picture is amazing!!! Even better at this price point. Unfortunately I went through two sets in a month.didn't go for a third set. Flash lighting was noticeable but liveable. Good picture though I mean real nice!

Edit: I have the lg55la7400 tv now and while the tv performs better in most areas IMHO, it is no match for the vizio m551d-a2r 3d! Vizio has the 3d mastered!!!! If 3d is what you crave then vizio is the only choice. While the lg set has good 3d and it is VERY SHARP, the depth that vizio has is so unbelievable! And yes I would still have this set if I did not go through 2sets in a month. Vizio tv even with all its issues was still a great tv pq wise!

Hi folks, I have the M60. Has anyone had issues with 3D after the 1.09 update?

Somehow, although the TV definitely is showing the dual image expected for 3D, I still see both images with the glasses on. Its like 100% crosstalk in both eyes.

When I get close to the screen, I can see how the dual image is made by what looks like every other scan line, but somehow the screen is not polarizing the light or something, because the when I put the glasses on I still see both images in each eye. Look like I never even put the glasses on.

Just wondering if I'm alone on this?

Doh!! I feel like a fool.

I just discovered that I accidentally got a couple sets of movie theater 3D glasses mixed up with the proper Vizio ones! We got them when we saw Star Trek: Into Darkness at a 3D IMAX. I took them home thinking they might work with our M60 TV.... then forgot to check.

Well, the wife put them in the box with the rest of the Vizio glasses, and I forgot about them. So guess what, they were the first two pairs to come out of the box when we went to watch my latest 3D disc purchase on the TV. The 3D IMAX glasses DO NOT work with the Vizio! I just assumed nothing could go wrong with passive glasses, so I assumed it was the TV, or the 1.09 update. Wrong on both counts.

I had actually called Vizio support, and they sent out a repair guy to the home. They discovered the problem right away. (That's in-home support on the original manufacturers warranty, I have no extended warranty.) Thanks for in-home support Vizio, sorry to have made you come out for such a foolish mistake on my part.

DUM.

I don't know about 3D IMAX, but I have used glasses from the movie theater and worked fine with my Vizio.

Got my first 3D Blu-rays (Gravity and Prometheus) and I keep getting an error when trying to load them. Not sure if it's the player, TV or AVR. The onscreen error basically says the Blu-ray player doesn't recognize the TV as 3D capable and won't even load the disc menu. My setup:

Vizio M551D TV (firmware 1.09)

Vizio 3D Blu-ray player VBR135

Denon 1613 AVR (3D pass through capable)

All connected with high speed w/ethernet HDMI cables. Monitor out on AVR is connected to HDMI 1 on TV.

What I've tried and didn't work:

CEC enabled on both the player and TV.

CEC disabled on both the player and TV.

Bypassed the AVR and connected player directly to the TV with two different HDMI cables.

Put the TV in 3D mode (all three modes) before loading disc. As soon as the tray closes the TV goes back to 2D; I quickly put it back in 3D while disc was loading, still didn't work.

The TV displays 3D correctly as I can watch 3D content from the YouTube App from the TV and the player. The player passes the YouTube 3D content when connected through the AVR and direct to the TV so I can't figure out why it won't pass the Blu-ray 3D content. It still plays 2D Blu-rays just fine.

All firmware is up to date on all three components and I've gone through the settings menus on all three as well, can't figure out what is wrong. I don't think it's the AVR as I get the same error when I bypass it. Any suggestions?

I have the M551i and like it so far, only complaint was the glare from sun. I have my setup in the best spot in the house directly in front of the double slidding glass door because we don't use it. but glare was still horrible. So today I went to Menard and bought 4 roles of Anti Glar windows tints I guess its called. WOW! what a difference I can now watch tv wth blinds all the way open and reduced glare minimum 80%

Do you have a tutorial for this? I have my M701d next to a wall of windows and this sounds awesome!

The cables are labeled on the jacket as "High Speed HDMI With Ethernet" and the package was also labeled with ethernet and 3D wording so at a minimum they are HDMI 1.4 compliant. They came in a two pack from Sam's Club about 9 months ago so I figured they were the latest version as 1.4a has been out since 2010.

Just read the spec differences between 1.4 and 1.4a in which 1.4a adds support for more 3D formats.

I'll pick some new cables up this weekend and make sure they are 1.4a compliant and see what happens.

Tried a brand new cable on all 4 HDMI inputs and get the same error message "Your Blu-ray 3D player has not detect that it is connected to a 3D display." It's got to be a setting on the player or TV or some kind of HDMI handshake issue. Any ideas before I call the Vizio no-help line?
